Dear Mr Brewin,
I have received the first number of Julius Jottings, and find it very pleasant and instructive. In such a numerous family it is not easy for the elder members to keep up with the flowing tide - there is so much new life - we get a little puzzled as to who's who. Your book is the very thing we want. However, we can look back a long way and remember our grandparents distinctly - a beautiful couple they were. I can also recall my great aunt Hodgson, and my grandfather's sister, Mrs Dare. I wonder if there are any Dare's living now? Your brother thinks we should all write about ourselves. So I will mention that I am a widow, and have two sons; the elder, Robert Carey, is a master at Harrow School; the younger, Julius Parnell, is in the Manuscript Department of the British Museum. I enclose my subscription for the present year, hoping you will be able to continue your interesting magazine, for which accept the thanks of your unknown cousin.
M.A. Gilson.
